Ventura 4th July Fireworks and Family Picnic!

The Rotary Club is proud to present 'A Salute to America!'. As our nations favorite time of year approaches, our team down at The Rotary Club have been working tirelessly to give you our most exciting, and fun filled year yet.

Taking place at Ventura County College Athletic Fields, there's no better place to celebrate than right here in Ventura - and the home of our 'Pirates!' We will be treating you to live music against the backdrop of our beautiful home town, whilst you unwind from a busy day at the parade. Meanwhile the kids wear themselves out in our fantastic new 'Kid Fun Zone!'

We will have a selection of food vendors available throughout the course of the evening, whether it's for those who haven't packed a picnic - or simply for those who are extra peckish from a long day of waving the flag! For our "Grand Finale' you will be watching the sky light up with color during our extravagant display of fireworks We are looking forward to celebrating in the heart of Ventura!

As we took a break from organizing the event last year, we have had extra time to make sure this year is the best one yet. So grab your picnic blankets, lawn chairs, and your American spirit, and head down to Ventura College from 5pm! Please remember that Pets, Alcohol, and Glass bottles are not permitted on the campus grounds.

Tickets may be pre-purchased at McDonalds or Vons and cost $6 per adult (13 years old and up) and $4 per child (ages 4-12) if purchased pre-sale.
